The age of AI is amongst us, and will most likely be the key in helping geographic combatant commanders make more informed decisions much more quickly than they can today. With hopes of developing weapons that are more precise, guided on command to human-selected targets, and infallible automatic threat detection and threat identification, AI is posed to be the military’s biggest challenge. Will warfighting decisions soon be carried out by AI?
The “wooden man post” has just been upgraded. Known as Mu Ren Zhuang, the iconic wooden post with hands have been used for centuries as hand-to-hand fight training wooden dummies and are believed to have originated with the Shaolin temple monks who practiced early kung fu.

Aiming towards developing a system of communication where soldiers can silently talk via a computer in the field and with advancements in battle-ready machine-human interface using brain signals, this is likely just a few decades away.
